Trump in 'Deciding Mode' on Iran: Military Strikes, Economic Pressure, or Negotiation

President Trump stated he is in "deciding mode" regarding Iran, weighing options of military strikes, economic pressure, or negotiation, and hinted that "something very big will happen soon." He also expressed openness to meeting Iranian President Pezeshkian this week at the UN General Assembly. According to FOX News reporter Trey Yingst, Trump listed choices including "wiping out" Iran, "economically drying it up," or negotiating, adding "my question is when, and whether to actually blow up the whole country." The US has approved visas for Iran's delegation, and Trump is scheduled to address the UN on September 22, with Pezeshkian speaking the following day. US Ambassador to the UN Waltz said economic pressure strategies, including a naval blockade and "economic wrath operation," will continue without a fixed timeline for ending the conflict. Trump also revealed ongoing contacts with the Houthis, who reportedly agreed not to attack US ships.
